Smith bobbleheads for sale
MILWAUKEE - The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled an officially licensed Jeremiah Smith Ohio State Buckeyes Record-Breaking Bobblehead Set. The standout wide receiver who recently became the school's all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns.
The special edition bobbleheads each feature a pose from the record-breaking play and fit together to form an Ohio Stadium field base.
The release cames ahead of fourth-ranked Ohio State's huge matchup at fifth-ranked and defending national champion, Indiana, which is at noon today. The bobbleheads, which are approved by Smith, are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of Ohio State University.
On a replica of Safelite Field at "The Shoe" and commemorating each of the three record-breaking plays, the Smith bobbleheads, from left to right and end zone to end zone, are arranged in the order in which he achieved his school records. Wearing a scarlet No. 4 jersey with gray pants, the receiving yards leader bobblehead is holding a football in his right hand while giving a stiff arm with his left hand. The touchdown receptions leader bobblehead is making the pose that Smith made as he celebrated his record-breaking touchdown and the receptions leader bobblehead is making a sure-handed catch, both wearing Ohio State's white jersey.
The backing of each bobblehead includes the individual receiving record and the date on which it was accomplished. The fronts of the bases read "OHIO STATE," "JEREMIAH SMITH," and "BUCKEYES," while the backs of the bases feature the Ohio State logo. The bobbleheads, which are individually numbered, are available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum's Online Store. The bobbleheads, which are expected to ship in April 2027, are available individually for $45 each or as a set of three for $125, plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.
